The Missouri University of Science and Technology is putting its old entries to the Solar Decathlon to good use by making a model Solar Village. Four solar homes from past competitions are being reused in an on campus experimental mall-scale solar-powered micro-grid. In a collaboration with students, researchers, utility companies and the Army Corps of Engineers, the Solar Village will test out the viability and functionality of a solar-powered neighborhood with on-site energy storage.
